Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) - Overview: Overview
The IPC provides a single analog gauge (speedometer) and dual RH and LH 4.2" thin film transistor screens to display driver information. The LH display screen contains the virtual gauge displays and message center information. Virtual gauges are video displays that provide information in a unique format, often resembling analog gauges. Each virtual gauge is somewhat different in how it is displayed. The RH display screen displays multimedia information (audio, phone, navigation and climate control), as well as items such as vehicle direction, outside air temperature and time.

To alert the driver of vehicle conditions, the IPC uses:
- gauges
- informational indicators
- warning indicators
- RTT indicators
- warning messages
- warning chimes
The IPC provides a variety of display options that allow the user to define the level of information that they are viewing. The display levels are:
- Display/Trip
- Information
- Settings
For a complete description of the display levels and the information contained in each level, refer to the Owner's Literature.
Informational indicators inform the driver of conditions that exist in the vehicle. Warning indicators provide information to the driver of conditions that could potentially cause personal injury or alter vehicle performance.
RTT indicators illuminate in the IPC and message center and replace the typical informational or warning indicator, using the same iconic representation. The cruise control and electric vehicle (EV) RTT indicators are in a fixed location while the others display in the order the request was received by the IPC in a rotating display area.
